what should I start with to beef up my '02 a/t WS6's handling?

Sub-Frame connectors if you don't all ready have them.

Strut tower bar to reduce chassis flex, lowering springs, panhard rod, performance shocks, and bigger wheels with high performance low-profile tires.

That should make a nice difference :burnout:

I'd go with 17 in. wheels and tires, thats what my car has. Anything bigger than 18's will look ridiculous ;)

right now I am weighing options on a set of 18's . My car is black so I was going with a black set of rims with a polished lip to offset all the black

speaking of sfcs, do the weld on ones get in the way for maintenance or modding?

With SFC, LCA, PHB, STB, Strano Parts sway bars, Pro-Kit springs, AGX shocks, 18x9.5 wheels, 275 front & 285 rear tires I usually pull 1.02 - 1.08 G's depending on road conditions & suspension settings on a regular basis. That's with Poly/poly and not rod ends either. I say start with SFC's, spings & shocks and build from there.

strano talks a mean game and claims he's the best-that's why you think that. I'm sure his will hold up just as well as a set of BMR or like mine; a 35mm from Jegs
